From the imaginative mind behind "Blood Supply: A Zombie Apocalypse Love Story" comes a captivating new musical that ventures into the artists' afterlife: “Holly Hollows The Musical”.
This dark and twisted story follows the journey of an aspiring pop star who, after meeting her death, finds herself in the underworld, where her unrealized songs and unfulfilled fantasies await her.
Holly Hollows is the indie pop rock solo project led by Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter Holly Anne Mitchell. She is a multi-faceted artist, two-time TEDx speaker, novelist-poet-playwright, ghostwriter, and mental health advocate. Her journey of transformation and recovery from PTSD serves as a raw and honest testament to the power of creative resilience. Drawing from personal trauma, Holly channels her pain into a wealth of creative expression, challenging societal norms and embracing authenticity.
In “Holly Hollows”, death is not the end; It is a surreal kingdom where the protagonist faces the demons of her desires. The narrative unfolds in a macabre landscape where sex, love, and fame transform into disturbing nightmares. All hell breaks loose under the malevolent scrutiny of a demonic producer, turning the afterlife into a chaotic, nightmarish experience for our protagonist. Holly Hollows explores the price one pays for chasing dreams and the darker aspects of the creative journey, combining the supernatural with cautionary reflection on the pursuit of fame and success. In this case, influenced by icons like St. Vincent, Karen O, and Lana Del Ray, Holly Hollows' vocal style encompasses ethereal melodies, dark intimacy, and soulful lyrics that linger with audiences.
Holly's strength is her ability to combine elements of horror, fantasy, and musical theater. The underworld setting provides a unique backdrop for the exploration of the protagonist's unfinished business and unresolved passions.
The musical's creators skillfully weave a narrative that is both haunting and fascinating, with a soundtrack that captures the emotional intensity of the story. Holly Hollows invites the public to reflect on the consequences of their own desires and the possible obstacles of the creative process.
